This is a great little book, which manages to be brief without being superficial, and accessible yet maintaining scientific rigour, written in an entertaining narrative style.' – Andrew Young, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, University of Leicester, UK

'Ian Mitchell presents a novel approach to understanding the brain and behaviour. The anecdotes often refer to his wife's practice as a neurosurgeon, and there is a sense that the reader is sitting down over a cup of tea and chatting with the author.' - Alexander Sumich, Reader in Biopsychology and Mental Health, Nottingham Trent University, UK
